The kind of set you’d spot above a stone range in a Belle Époque kitchen. This four-piece ensemble—serving spoon, slotted spoon, ladle, and two-tine fork—hangs from its original embossed brass rack. The utensils feature hand-turned hardwood handles with brass ferrules and heavier-gauge, hand-finished bowls, hallmark details of late-19th to early-20th-century French manufacture (pre-war, before lighter post-1950s reproductions).

Warm patina, gentle tool marks, and the rack’s beaded edge speak to daily use and quality. Display as wall art or press into service for ladling stews and serving rustic sides—either way, it brings instant French character to the kitchen.

Easily hung on drywall using simple brass screws for a seamless look, or securely mounted into your tile backsplash for a more permanent, traditional installation. Whether displayed above your range, beside open shelving, or near a copper pot rack, it becomes an instant focal point—adding both beauty and function to your kitchen space.
